chickencam Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Our leeks are looking a little sad this year We normally sow them too late but this year we did them at the right time and they were lovely healthy plants when they went into their final position. They are now really tatty, I think it may be slug damage and there are a lot of other leeks on the allotments that look a bit like ours but a few that are healthy. They seem to have stopped growing too. Should we feed them with something? I like leeks for soups etc and had great hopes this year of a crop before February Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggypeggy Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Mine are the same, bit sad and tatty!.. I was just thinking, I'll give them a little feed with some organic all in one fertiliser I have (like growmore). Should give the veg a feed every 2 weeks ish.. but never get round to it!

Clur Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Ours are like that two, but we pulled a couple up last week and they were fine to eat once the tatty outer-layers were removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 Ours are still too skinny to do that, although you could pay a fortune for 'baby leeks' in a restaurant or posh greengrocer I suspect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggy Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 mine were doing fine until saffy escaped out of the run door as I was going in to feed them & pecked away & pulled up half of my baby leeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
